I think my application description was a bit wonky because that's how I intended it to work: the "Switch" button is a "Skip" button, not an "Acknowledgement" button. I added it so that I could skip phases. When the timer fires, the next reminder is actually scheduled immediately, no need to press the button. My fault for making a misleading UI. Again, thanks for the great review. | |

I used Timeline because of this blog post and because I kept reading that background threads shouldn't update UI compontents; the UI thread should update UI components. None of the articles really explained why. They just warned of "unpredictable" results. Some of the articles said to use Platform::runLater from the background thread.

Thanks for the great review, Vogel. It turns out I was able to use onAction="#scheduleNextReminder" without issue: no need for button.setOnAction.
